Xayah
Crazy counter in my experience, her main damage isn't really coming from her autos, so you can only W so much and pray her E doesn't give you a colonoscopy. Her R will put you down like the dead dog you are. Luckily, your R is on a much shorter CD, but still, the self peel this champ has does not scream "good for Nilah".
Taric
some may say that double melee bot seems like a terrible idea, to that I say that Tariq stun might just be op with the way you can go in whenever you want and he can just heal you up as he beats up whatever he can and then level 6 is just like creative mode.

Champion Build Guide
But for real, you will need to pick her with an enchanter support or at the very least, an ap poke mage with a lot of range. They need to be able to keep the enemy laners from harassing you as you try to CS as well as set up something for you to capitalize on. You should not be picking Nilah when your solo laners are both melee as well, you will ruin your seige power, as you will all have no range to attack teh turret or harrass the defenders. You can also look to pick this champ when your team has a lot of built in healing in their kits, as in teamfights, you will benefit from all of it, even if it is a small bit.
After a successful level 2, you can play more aggressive after your first base, let's say you can rush full berserker's, you will be able to constantly e in and e out for some quick harrass. But do be careful, as your E has an absurdly long recharge time. Be sure to ping your support when you see an angle they could set up, making sure that you can secure a larger lead in the laning phase.
For early buys, I have found most success with rushing boots, then a vamp sceptre. Noonquiver is also a decent early spike, however the little sustain that the lifesteal will offer may come in handy more.
You're most likely going to be sitting near your tower for the majority of the laning phase, as you are melee, and you will not have much agency to push out the wave even if you do have pretty good waveclear. But this is actually a really good place for Nilah to play, because if you have the freeze going, you can wait for your jungler to come, and it should just be free reign on the enemy bot lane, as you are very good at running people down long lanes.
In the down time between waves coming in, look for some jungle camps to take to get you ahead just a bit more. Obviously, invading the enemy jungler is the most ideal because you are RNG'ing your jungler afk'ing over some krugs you took while he was pathing top. You don't even have to go for camps if you feel you may take too long, you can jsut opt for some deep vision to help you know when you are going to need to keep both E's at disposal in case you feel like you lose the three v three or simply need to back off.
Post 6 you can look for all ins every moment your R is up, as it comes with some supprising damage, and pulls them back into you, and is almost always good for a summ or two or three or maybe even four. You are very strong in the two v two as you provide healing to your support as well through your R, and if they have healing or shielding in their kit, you give them a little extra of that as well (I'm pretty sure, idk I don't read).
Try to rotate for each drake your jungler wants to contest, even ping them to make sure they are still awake on their computer if they are not paying attention to drakes. The thing is that if you RNG ocean soul, the game is practically won because your passive will literally proc every time ocean soul does, so you are constantly pumping out extra healing. To be frank, every soul is relaly good on Nilah, so you relaly wnat to do your best to get these. Even if you have the freeze, your push power is really good, plus you can just get ganked and force their bot to take a base instead of helping with drake. Do be careful for the fated bot lane fiesta, you will not win it.
In teamfights, it's easiest to look for the adc and support, but you are fine fighting the frontline as well if you already have your whole team casting couching the adc in the back.
Also, your tower damage is really insane with Q.
I am gold peak and am turbo garbage but I was top 50 Nilah NA at one point :p
